1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Multicolor single-molecule tracking (SMT) provides a powerful tool to mechanistically probe molecular interactions in living cells. However, because of the limitations in the optical and chemical properties of currently available fluorophores and the multiprotein labeling strategies, intracellular multicolor SMT remains challenging for general research studies. Here, we introduce a practical method employing a nanopore-electroporation (NanoEP) technique to deliver multiple organic dye-labeled proteins into living cells for imaging. It can be easily expanded to three channels in commercial microscopes or be combined with other in situ labeling methods. Utilizing NanoEP, we demonstrate three-color SMT for both cytosolic and membrane proteins. Specifically, we simultaneously monitored single-molecule events downstream of EGFR signaling pathways in living cells. The results provide detailed resolution of the spatial localization and dynamics of Grb2 and SOS recruitment to activated EGFR along with the resultant Ras activation.
